Over the weekend, the inaugural XMiles Preston Half Marathon and 10K took place.

This brand new running event arrived in the city on Sunday, September 27 and was the final event in the XMiles North West Road Run Series.

The route started and finished at Winckley Square, taking in Fishergate, Avenahan and Miller Parks, Walton Bridge, the old Tram Road and Penwortham Old Bridge along the way.
